Used of an algorithm or implementation considered extremely {robust};
lossage-resistant; capable of correctly recovering from any
imaginable exception condition -- a rare and valued quality. Implies
that the programmer has thought of all possible errors, and added
{code} to protect against each one. Thus, in some cases, this can
imply code that is too heavyweight, due to excessive paranoia on the
part of the programmer. Syn. {armor-plated}.
